INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS

There is a definite increase in favorable publicity concerning the
value and importance of the coal mining industry in national and
world-wide economy. Of special interest is the construction of large
coal burning electric plants in Eastern and Central States. Similar
expansion in the use of coal for generating electricity is starting in
Colorado and the West Coast States .

One electric plant is under construction at Cameo near Grand Junc-
tion which will be in operation within the next few months. A plant
at Nucla in Southwestern Colorado, is also in the course of construc-
tion at this time. These two plants will only use coal. A plant near
Denver, which is nearly ready for operation, is designed to use nat-
ural gas and coal with some thought that coal will be used as the
principal fueL

Other electric plants are being considered as a necessity in several
parts of the State . Some large companies are studying the coal re-
serves probably for future development of coal chemicals and artifi-
cial gas. These investigations are in the preliminary stage, but it
is quite possible that some parts of the State offer favorable loca =
tions for such plants,

Some interest is being shown in our anthracite deposits, which are
known to be the only deposits in the West, with the exception of the
nearly exhausted region in New Mexico.

Increased activity is being shown in the production of coking coal
from this State to meet the demand for steel plants in Utah and Cal-
ifornia, in addition to the Colorado Fuel and Iron Plant in Pueblo,
which used about 1,140,000 tons of coal in 1956,

The Shamrock Mine in Weld County which opened in 1905, mined a
total of 2,167,869 tons of coal when it closed on April 13, 1956.
The Black Diamond #2 in Boulder County mined 801,657 tons from
1931 to May 2 when the mine was abandoned. The Morley Mine in
Las Animas County was operated by the C. F. &X from 1906 to May4
with a total of 11, 046, 178 tons of coal produced without mechanization.

An examination for Coal Mine Officials was held in 1956, and it was
gratifying to note that out of 111 examinations given, there were only
two who failed to make a passing grade. However, seven certificates
are being held until all state requirements are met. Much credit for

these results is to be given to the Trinidad Junior College and instruc
torSj where classes were conducted in practical coal mining, Exam-
inations were held in Trinidad and in Denver . A list of successful
candidates can be found on pages 28-29 of this report.

According to a publication of the United States Bureau of Mines, all
bituminous mines in the United States showed a frequency rate of
0,78 per million tons of coal produced in 1956, Colorado mines show
0,605 for the year, with a total of 2 fatalities, Colorado set an all-
time safety record in seventy-two years by operating from October 23,
1955. to September 5, 1956, without a fatality.

These results show that the combined efforts for greater safety being
carried on cooperatively by the coal operators, the USM0W5 of A, ,
the US. Bureau of Mines, and the State Coal Mine Inspection Depart-
ment are effectively reducing accident rates.
